Operating expenses at EUR 292 million
The employees of Rabo Real Estate Group can look back on a turbulent year as a result of the
ongoing crisis in the sector, poor financial results, increasing regulatory requirements, cuts in
government spending, cost cuts and a major reorganisation. In the midst of these hectic times,
a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) was signed in October 2012. The changes to this
agreement were minimised for now: issues such as pay and the redundancy plan have not been
touched. The parties involved will team up in the coming period to formulate the principles of
the 'CBA of the future', which will reflect the structural changes in the property market.

As the increase in income posted by Rabo Real Estate Group was outweighed by property
impairments; total income showed an 18% decline in 2012, dropping to EUR 430 (523) million.
Interest income was up 12% to reach EUR 311 (277) million thanks to higher margins on new
loans and renewals. Fewer loans were issued than in 2011which caused commission to drop
by 15% to EUR 35 (41) million. FHigher impairment losses on property developments and
strategic land positions contributed to a 59% fall in other income to EUR 84 (205) million.
Rabo Real Estate Group saw its total operating expenses decrease by 12%, landing at EUR 292
(332) million in 2012. The headcount was lower as a result of staff cuts at Bouwfonds Property
Development, Bouwfonds REIM, MAB Development and the Management Centre, among
other divisions. Staff costs fell by 4% to EUR 193 (200) million as a result. Other administrative
expenses, which had been high in 2011 because of a reorganisation allowance, dropped by
27% to EUR 89 (122) million. At EUR 10 (10) million, depreciation and amortisation charges
were more or less stable.
